A Michigan fawn named Peanut, initially slated for euthanasia, will now live at a nature center after public outcry and a policy reversal.

A fawn named Peanut, injured and visually impaired, will live at the Howell Nature Center after Michigan’s DNR reversed its decision to euthanize her, following public outcry and pressure from lawmakers. Initially denied an educational permit due to a missed deadline, the DNR approved the request on October 16 after receiving final paperwork. The Detroit Animal Welfare Group, which rehabilitated Peanut, said documents were submitted earlier. The case has spotlighted flaws in wildlife rehabilitation policies and sparked calls for reform.
